-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would be very interested in getting the topic of this bug implemented eventually. As discussed in Debian #509369 and Ubuntu #291748, the current behavior of retrying forever downloads that failed could lead to some really bad results under some circumstances (ie, misbehaving proxies, etc). Having APT::Acquire::Retries apply to index files would at least allow a way to prevent these failure mode from getting out of hand.
Is there any plan to bump the ABI some time in the future? If yes, can this bug be consider for a fix at that point? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJTrVi0Q5b0DEGvMIRAtE3AJ90W9q0v09MHPq53qTYqwnFZwNBoQCfTWmH HIZlVoXgDZFnxvRB+Dxe/Fo= =MCsT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
